Setting page file > 4gb on Win2k3
by Guest TJ- 3 replies

Hi I want to increase the page file to 8gb on my Win2K3 SP2 box, but I realise there is a 4gb under certain configurations. I checked the following KB article: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;237740 and it states: "to create a larger page file, you must load the Physical Address Extension (PAE) kernel. In Windows Server 2003, PAE is automatically enabled when the server is using Hot Add Memory devices. Alternatively, you can force the PAE kernel by adding the /PAE switch in the Boot.ini file" I checked my boot.ini file and its contents is: [boot loader] timeout=30 default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS [operating…

Windows 2008 run scheduled task as domain account ?
by Guest Peter Lawton- 4 replies
- 354 views
I'm trying to create a scheduled task in Windows 2008 server to run as a domain services account but I can't seem to set a task to run as any account other than me, even though I get a browse button to chose the account to run as. In fact when I try to change accounts back to myself I still get an error "The specified account name is not valid" I've been able to do this under W2003, what's the trick to getting it to work in W2008? Thanks Peter Lawton

hello, we are a small university education unit and have a server with the 32 bit enterprise version of windows 2003 installed and are trying to install (through the control panel add/remove) the 2002 front page extensions. when i try to install the frontpage extensions on the server it asks for a file (ntiis_addacct.htm) on the windows server 2003 disk, but i cannot find this file on the disk so i am forced to cancel the installaion. i have searched all the disks, but nothing comes up? i found some reference to the file online pointing to a file fp50ext.cab and that it might be in there? but i cannot find that file on any of the distribution disks as well…

Windows Server 2008 Core remote connectivity.
by Guest Dan Sheehan- 2 replies

Greetings. I have created a new Windows Server 2008 Core Enterprise Edition server, that I am going to use with Hyper-V to run a couple of test servers (hopefully I will be able to make them production once Hyper-V is RTM'ed). I have been able to change its IP, join it to the domain. I have enabled remote management through the firewall. Using another Windows Server 2008, I am able to use a domain account to connect to the Core server with Computer Manager and the Firewall MMC as well. The only thing I seem to be unable to do in Computer Manager is use the Disk Management part of Computer Manager. Every time I try, I get the pop-up error "The RPC server is unav…

DHCP box and Windows 2003 Server Domain Controller documentation
by Guest Tarh ik- 5 replies
- 391 views
Hi Everybody! I'd really appreciate if someone could tell me about some documentation I could read in the Microsoft Web Site that will help me understand how the following four items can talk in the same language: * A Router/DHCP Box (call it a D-Link, a Cisco, a 3Com, a Linksys, etc) * Windows 2003 Server as a Domain Controller (with Active Directory) * Windows Vista * Windows XP The reason I'm asking is because we are doing some weird stuff to keep our network working, and although it works, these solutions might generate some issues in the future. Here is what we did: * We installed the DNS services in our Domain Controller (…

Server won't power up after outage
by Guest M Skabialka- 1 reply
- 224 views
When we have an extended power failure the server goes onto the UPS backup power but after a specified time is shut down by software that came with the UPS. However it doesn't power up when power is restored. Our retired servers always came back up as soon as power was restored using the same software. Could this be a BIOS setting? It's a Dell Poweredge.

EFS
by Guest MW Stape- 2 replies
- 260 views
I am trying the setup EFS sharing. I believe this must be the least document part of Windows 2003. I have shared 2 files in one folder. I fetched and installed the basic efs certificate. Now I read one but not the other. I shared another set of files for security, gave them a certificate, shared the files to them. They were able to open the files once. After that they just received error messages. Have any good article? Can you help me? Thanks -- Michael Stape

autodisconnect
by Guest mmark751969- 0 replies
- 186 views
Just wondering if there is any side effect to disabling the autodisconnect feature on my windows 2k3 server domain controller. This is the feature that drops idle connections after a specified time- out period (by default, 15 minutes) to prevent wasting server resources on unused sessions. Has anyone done this with any negative effect. Thanks
